About this property

Sanctuaire,Cazadero - Mountainside 2 STORY RETREAT, A SALT WATER POOL, JACUZZI

Nestled in the western Sonoma County highlands, just outside of the charming town of Cazadero. Sanctuaire is a serene mountainside villa of sweeping natural views, gardens and, forested hillsides, and native flora and fauna. With two master suites on different floors. In addition, to the Roman style swimming pool, conspicuously set as a center stage to witness the breathtaking 360 panorama of nature. Sanctuaire also features comfy outdoor decks, grilling areas and flagstone patios, all designed to optimize the stunning views that make Sanctuaire so memorable and so special. Kitchen is on the second story, and has great access to gas grill and picnic tables. There is a wood-stove, and propane fireplaces, cathedral ceilings, beautiful tile and flagstone work throughout with eclectic furnishings. Also, there is a wrap-around deck with outdoor dining and gas grill. There is a large flagstone patio with , Seasonal Solar-Heated Salt Swimming Pool
available May30th 2025-Oct 15~2025 . Jacuzzi with 65 jets , Loungers and a Pond, Gardens, and Fabulous Mountain Views. Also there is DSLWIFI. .. Sanctuaire offers many off site amenities such as being close to the Pacific Coastal Highway (PCHwy 1); a treasure trove to make any cyclist happy. World-Class Wine Tasting in the Great Russian River Appellation and 5 star Dining close by in Jenner.
Almost forgot~we have beautiful WARD CREEK FRONTAGE,with Good accessibility, with picnic table and loungers. Our pond in front of homesite, will serenade you with chattering frog life~
We have been around for over two decades~and feel that sharing this incredible beauty, with our guests~can offer peace and tranquility, for yourself, and us, your host's.
Again, thanks for considering Sanctuaire.
I would love to host everyone, BUT do not recommend Sanctuaire for handicap, though railings and pulls, there are steps, and uneven surfaces with the flagstone. Toddlers, also have a sense of adventure, and home and grounds are expansive and eclectic So I do not recommend, Sorry Though.

Peaceful Sanctuary

Great escape from the city - quiet solitude in nature with a beautiful very private pool to cool off in hot weather. The house is eclectic, comfortable and the kitchen is well appointed for cooking. Many outside decks to hang out on. Sonoma beaches nearby. Marie is hands on but respects your privacy. We hope to visit again.

Fraudulent listing

Listing stated “stainless front door entrance”. House has 2 stone stairs with no handrails. I wear leg braces for a neurological condition making those stairs unacceptable. I immediately returned to my home in LA - a 9 hour round trip. Host’s only response was “I give no refunds’ BEWARE!!!

Lovely place to get away from it all.

Beautiful property with a unique and lovingly decorated cabin. We loved all the little details, and the pool was heaven on a hot day. Pro tip- bug repellent is a must for hanging out on the deck in the evening.

Paradise!

Words cannot describe how beautiful and serene this property is, along with one of the most attentive host you could ask for. Between the wonderful art work, stained glass and Tiffany lights the interior is nothing like you have experienced before. The acreage surrounding the property gives you a feeling of total seclusion, but help is there right away if you need it. The Pool and Jacuzzi are perfect and rare for the area. There is wonderful hiking along the 40+ acres and a Creek to relax by. I cannot express how much we loved the property and appreciated Marie the host. Take your time driving up the road, and you must bring plenty of supplies. Mainly because you might not want to leave! Thank you Marie!

Fantastic Place!

A lovely, secluded area which was a perfect weekend getaway for us from the city. This very unique house, carefully decorated with years of collected furniture and art work has everything you need including a hot tub under the stars! Maria made sure to even call us before the trip and explain in detail what all were available in the house. Would definitely come back to this beautiful place and location.

Sanctuaire is a beautiful escape into nature. My sister and I just spent 5 peaceful days and nights surounded by a very serene bit of the world. We really immersed ourselves and feel like we've been to a retreat. Marie is the perfect host...available but very unobtrusive. She is a lovely person and only added to our stay.

Nature at its best

Everything about Sanctuaire is relaxing and beautiful! Comfortable beds and furniture, interesting art, excellent equipment, gorgeous views, plenty of wildlife to watch and listen to -- and a pool and hot tub, too! We had a lovely week-long vacation here, visiting redwood groves and the ocean, and mostly, sticking around the property to read books and enjoy each other's company. Delightful.

Enchanted Sanctuary

We spent a few lovely days here. Enjoyed curling up on the chaise near the fire with a book. If you love Victoriana you will appreciate the beautiful stained glass. Walls of windows to enjoy the view but total privacy. Be sure to enjoy the walk to the onsite creekside respite. We will be back in the summer so we can enjoy the outdoors here!

Gorgeous Getaway

This property was spectacular, both inside the house and throughout the spacious grounds. The attention to detail was evident everywhere. Our family of four adults had plenty of room to relax, cook and enjoy the views from every room. We took walks to the creek on the property and enjoyed the hot tub in the rain. We hope to go back during the warm season and make use of the pool as well!

Best rent ever??

This sweet property deep in the woods is such a gem. When we showed up for a girls weekend the entire property was covered in shasta daisies! We spent three days utterly blissed out, reading by the pool, soaking in the hot tub, and eating meals on the deck. Highly recommend the walk down to the creek, especially if you have dogs. It’s a beautiful place for recharging, bird watching, reconnecting with friends, and we are all desperate to return as soon as possible!

Fantastic property

We had a wonderful stay at Cazadero. This is a truly unique property. The wood used to build the house gives it an older feel but the modern kitchen and bathrooms are wonderful to use. The main deck is huge and there are outdoor sitting areas off all the bedroom spaces. The pool and hot tub were delightful but the secluded feeling of the property was our favorite feature. We did not hear another voice or see another person the entire stay. We loved it.

All that jazz in Caz !

The home (its decor and furnishings were super chill Victorian era to just lounge about in for you homebodies out there), grounds and views of the opposing hills were stunning. It was entirely peaceful and the stars at night are divine. Everything was functioning and operating as planned. The setup down at the creek was extremely serene. Bring bug spray and dont forget that you are truly spending time in the country when you see bats flying about. The host Maria was very helpful and always accesible. We will be back !

Beautiful and private property!

The home is a lovely eccentric gem! It is very comfortable with all amenities for your comfort. Love the upper deck with the view of the pool and spa with the barbecue in close proximity to the kitchen. The property is very quiet, private and serene! Walking down to the creek was a bonus! In the 100 degree weather in September the lower bedroom and bath was a plus!! The owner loves her home and was a beautiful lady to communicate with during our questions and concerns in booking. Recommend to all wanting an escape from the pressures of everyday life! Cindy Bollinger

Wonderful serenity and escape from everyday life.

Marie is a wonderful and accommodating host. When you stay in her home, it is like you are part of her artwork, her masterpiece is the house she built herself. It is very unique and cozy and brings out the best in everyone who is sleeping there. The house is in the middle of the woods, so you have a few spiderwebs and leaves in the house - but to be expected. My husband and I had a wonderful time away just the two of us without the kids. Thank-you again Marie!
